Last week's triple-digit heat wave reminded me how thankful I am to live in a coastal community. I don't know about other agents, but my client and I braved the weekend heat wave and toured several Palos Verdes homes for sale.

There are 65 Palos Verdes luxury homes priced over $3,000,000 listed for sale [...]

The dilemma he faces is where to make a long term investment that will require minimum management but provide a decent return on investment. Retail seems like a high-risk venture with the disruption online shopping is creating in the industry. Will gas stations become a thing of the past as the 21st-century advances?
